Abstract :
Necessary and sufficient conditions for the input regularity of a tandem connection of two multivariable systems are given. The results are specialized to the case of state-space equations, in which case input regularity is equivalent to controllability. Also the problem is considered whether the composite system can be made input regular by means of a suitable connection of the two subsystems.
